The only backward, overtly tannic 1993 of the Trapet portfolio is the Chambertin. It displays a medium to dark ruby color, a big, spicy, albeit closed nose, medium body, and fine depth. It requires 6-7 years of cellaring and should drink well for 12-15. The 1993s are the finest wines made at the Domaine Trapet since the great 1969s. Jean-Louis Trapet has been convinced by his new broker, Patrick Lesec, to stop fining and filtering those barrels purchased by Lesec. I was told Trapet will abandon all fining and filtering beginning with the 1995s. Lesec's cuvees reveal this estate's previously unexploited potential. Bravo to the young Jean-Louis Trapet for turning this once moribund estate around. A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris fax # 011 33 1 42843822), various American importers
